Squire Sanders has announced that senior corporate lawyer Michal Karwacki has joined the firm's Warsaw office as Of Counsel.  

Karwacki, who joins from Dentons, has over 14 years of transactional experience, with a special focus on the private equity and venture capital sectors, and will lead Squire Sanders' practice in those areas in Poland.

According to Squire Sanders, Karwacki "is known for his skills in managing and advising on all aspects and stages of private equity and VC transactions, from matching potential deal partners, and structuring and negotiating the deal to closing and post-completion work. He has a strong track record in the sector, and among recent deal highlights he acted for MCI Capital Partners on the acquisition of shares for a leading web portal."

The firm expects that Karwacki, together with other partners in the Global Corporate Practice in London, Moscow, and Warsaw, will help accelerate the growth of the firm's private equity practice in Poland and support similar deals in the wider region and neighboring emerging markets such as Turkey.

Peter Swiecicki, Squire Sanders' Managing Partner in Warsaw, said: "We are very excited that Michal Karwacki, whom we have known for many years, has joined our firm. In addition to his excellent reputation and commercial awareness, Michal has a remarkable talent for building new relationships and strengthening them over the years - with existing and new clients and our practice as a whole, he is sure to be a great success."
